  • Albert Einstein was a German-born physicist who developed the theory of relativity, which changed the way we understand the universe. HIs most famous formula is the mass-energy equivalence formula, given by: E=mc^2
  • Mass-Energy Formula:
    E=Energy
    M=Mass
    C= Speed of light in a vacuum.
    It shows that energy and mass are interchangeable and that a tiny amount of mass can be converted into a huge amount of energy.
  • Isaac Newton (1642-1727) was an English Mathematician, physicist, and astronomer. He is famous for his three laws of motion, which describe how objects move and interact with one another
    1. An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and direction, unless acted upon by an external force.
    2. The force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration (F=ma)
    3. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

  • Who developed the law of Universal Gravitation?
    Isaac Newton
  • Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
